Forest Hill Family Home

This welcoming home provides space for a growing family with two young boys, while reflecting the clients’ appreciation for elegance, tranquility and sustainability.

The standalone 5000-square-foot, three-story home provides panoramic views to the east, south and west sides of San Francisco and beyond.

Behind the serene white, grey and natural wood surfaces are a plethora of sustainable elements, including hydronic radiant heating, solar energy, and energy efficient fixtures. Reclaimed wood and eco-conscious materials are used wherever possible. Outside, greywater is repurposed for garden irrigation.
